I have been told that if you are applying for anything less senior than president of a college, that you should keep it short and friendly. My advice to Paul was to move his summary to his cover letter, and shorten his individual entries. He had a lot of freelance projects, which I considered to be somewhat equivalent to publications, but I edited some of the less recent descriptions to show just the tools used, a link and enough info for a recruiter to ask about it.
Since I'm told that my own resume could use some work, if there is another point of view out there I'd like to hear it.
